Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- 1 tablespoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Pinch of salt
- 2-4 tablespoons water or milk (as needed)
Instructions
- Combine the rolled oats, protein powder, flaxseed, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and salt in a medium bowl. Mix well.
- Add the almond butter and molasses to the dry ingredients.
- Stir everything together until mostly combined. The mixture will look crumbly.
- Add water or milk one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough holds together when pressed. You want a firm, non-sticky consistency.
- Roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls, about 1 inch each.
- Place the bites on a parchment-lined plate or tray.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
Notes
- Adjust the molasses slightly if you prefer a sweeter bite.
- You can substitute any protein powder flavor you prefer, but vanilla works best here.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
